Does America even have any long term plans? Even on paper? I'm seriously asking. We all know the real answer is funneling cash to their donors, but what is the PR? Is there even any?

actionjackson posted:feel free to explain you were painting far too broad a brush when the specific impacts of climate change are much more localized than that. so yes, sure New Orleans, Miami, Phoenix, are all good examples of places that probably one should move away from, but that's different than the idea that "the entire southeast" and "the entire west" are worse enough that its worth moving to anywhere in "the entire midwest". you have to look very specifically at the places you're discussing. Being in a community that's reliant on the Ogallala Aquifer is as big of a water supply concern as being in a community reliant on the Colorado River. Being in the footprint of the Peshtigo fire is just as much of a climate fire risk as being in the footprint of the Paradise fire. also importantly absolutely no one has a clear picture of what the total real climate impacts will be, so one has to account for the chance that these are wrong and are missing additional impacts. So even with all this deep diving research, what if you're wrong about the spread of invasive species? What if the modeling you're using to predict changes in rainfall is wrong? etc. etc. that's why being somewhere where you have or can develop community ties is vastly more important than trying to guess marginal future climate impacts. so yes, move away from the direct coastline, out of the forests, and out of the deserts but focus on where you have in-group status instead of marginal climate scores. because while we might guess the invasive species timeline wrong, or deplete this aquifer over that aquifer we know that when things go bad its worse to be an outsider.

I feel like post 2016 we've switched firmly into the era of "the pie in shrinking faster and faster every year", and anyone whose job is in pie growth or pie maintenance knows this, knows there's nothing they can do about it, and so lies that pie is growing bigger and faster than ever whilst stealing whatever crumbs they can for themselves before it's all gone.

the job I’m leaving is trying to automate about 3k jobs out of existence, and if they are successful, competitors will probably follow suit, effectively shrinking an entire sector of the workforce that is currently absolutely necessary. in this automation push, they are also trying to automate the software development side of things by integrating with a vendor who can make it easily configurable by any slackjawed analyst, eliminating the need for computer toucher support. this will greatly increase their profits and prestige in the industry, and if I stuck around, I might’ve gotten a pizza party out of it.
